Introducing Sonniss

Introducing Sonniss

For the past couple of months we have been working hard behind the scenes on Sonniss – A premium digital marketplace for the buying and selling of high-quality independent sound effect libraries.

Before I go on to tell you a little bit more about this platform, I would just like to thank the rest of the team for creating something better than I could have ever imagined. It’s been a roller coaster of a ride these past few months, as I’m sure we can all agree, but a fun one nevertheless. (Drinks are on me for the rest of the week guys – and maybe a doughnut or three) – Again, thank you. You have really done me proud.

Ok, so that’s enough of that. Let me tell you more about Sonniss. That’s what you want to know, right?

Over the last few years, myself and the team at Visionary Sound have been talking about creating a platform that would allow you to easily buy and sell independent sound libraries.

When I first attempted to sell my sound effects library last year I found it difficult to make a profit, not because of the quality of my libraries (they where awesome, of course, right?), but solely because there wasn’t a platform that I could easily sell my libraries on without some LARGE site/publisher taking a HEFTY 50/60% commission. It was crazy. Robbery in fact. — I AM LOOKING AT YOU AUDIOJUNGLE!!! Bastards.

So after a lot of talking and plenty of coffee, we decided to take action… And now after many months of hard work, Sonniss is here. Live. For everyone to use.
